Wilmer Fabricio (20), from Próspero, Honduras. To his father in Honduras. Nov 22, 2018. Phone call excerpt.
Hi, papa? Well, good. Last night (laughs) … eh? Well, I’m telling you. It’s raining over here. You should’ve seen the storm last night. I got everything wet. Yes….Yes…. Well everything is alright. The only thing is that on Sunday we are taking over the bridge. Yes but right now… No… Yes… Yes… Yes… Yes, do you think you can send credit to my phone, papa? Right now
I don’t have any money because I bought the cellphone. Do you remember that I told you that I carried five hundred pesos ? I bought the phone and I don’t have a single Lempira now. Yes… Whatever you want. A fifty credit recharge, or a one hundred, as you prefer. Yes… I sent you the number… Come again? I think so, but you can ask there. Yes.. Yes… Yes… Yes… (laughs) Yes… Yes… Yes… Yes, that’s the only thing they give. Because yesterday there were a lot of people offering jobs and we asked them how much they paid for a week and they told us a thousand pesos. Yeah, man. I had a better salary then. Yes… It’s the same in here. But it’s not right here, it’s in the outskirts. Yes… Yes… Ok, alright papa. Yes… Alright.
